While Marcel was the captain, chief electrician and engineer all in one person ( he got all the functions of the boat working ) I was making the beds in the two cabins, preparing the tea, cooking meals, and looking after the drinks cabinet…

The weather was slightly overcast, all the shipyard, where I had bought the boat, catered for, was to put the boat into the water. „And here are the keys, good luck, if you have any problems, call the former owner" that was it. Alright, the ship is 5 years younger than myself, its engines have more then 1000 working hours on the clock… now it was sitting for many years on land, exposed to the weather. Some work was waiting…

And here I was on the sea. That is what I will be doing for the rest of the week again. Well, not on the sea, but certainly I will spend my time on rivers, canals, and lakes. So, until Sunday, maybe Monday, there will be no daily paintings, maybe sketches if I have any connection to the internet. If you have been following my work, you may have noticed that some of my paintings during the last summers have been painted on my small boat. I love to paint on a boat. Now I have decided to take it a step further. I bought a larger ship, about 10 meters long and 3,20 meters wide, where I will be able to go on longer trips, where I have more room to stay overnight, where I can store materials, and work all year round, save from bad weather and the cold in the winter. Tomorrow I will collect it, it will take a day or two to have it all shipshape, and start the trip on the water ways back to Berlin, I am very excited…I just wonder how Columbus managed it…

For obvious reasons I did not leave my studio today. An hour ago she did eat a tiny portion of catfood for the first time after the attack, a good sign, and thank you for all the well wishes, I really appreciate it.

I spent last night on my studio boat working on a painting. It got very late, so I decided to spend the rest of the night also on the ship. This was the view in the morning. Actually an omen for the day. I had planned to travel to Brandenburg. Only half an hour into the journey I received a phone call, that my cat was seriously attacked by a dog ( not one of the dogs I just painted but a strange one from the neigbourhood ) So I drove back as fast as possible took my cat to the hospital, and now can only hope for the best …

After having made their voice loud and clear on the waterway in front of the seat of government, the armada went home, hoping that the Müggelsee will remain as it is. Otherwise we will be back, with a vengeance !
